Chapter 691: Besieging Dong Xianbei
Fang Zhiwen's integration of Liaodong was quite large, and Fang Zhiwen only retained five cities in the end of the huge territory of Liaodong and Xuansu. There are two in Liaodong County, namely Xiangping, a third-level town located in the Liaohe Plain, and Xi'an Ping, which is connected to Lelang. There are three Xuanwu counties, and the Xuanwu Castle is retained as a county seat and foundation, and then Zhangmu and Kangping in the north are retained as the advance bases.
The location of Xiangping is very good, located on the Liaohe Plain, the water system is developed and fertile for thousands of miles, and the development potential is very large, therefore, Fang Zhiwen will focus on the development of this new agricultural city and make it a new granary for himself; If Xi'an Ping is not retained, there is no stop on the road from Xiangping to Lelang for more than 3,000 miles, only bandits and wild monsters, the impact on the economy and trade is really unfavorable.
What's more, if there was no Xi'an Ping to deter Goguryeo, maybe those guys who had repeated their minds would pretend to be bandits to rob again, so even if Xi'an Ping was barren and mountainous, and the prospects for development were not promising, Fang Zhiwen still chose to retain and develop the city.
After all, this is a game world, and the brain will not create a dead place, not to mention that Xi'an Ping is close to the Yalu River, and a port can also be built, and the timber and iron ore in the surrounding mountains can also support Xi'an Ping to grow into at least a first-class city in the future.
As for Xuansu City, it is actually the real Shenyang, where the development potential is greater, not only has fertile farmland, rich water resources, but also close to a huge iron mine, so in the game, Xuansu City is rich in iron ore, if such a city does not develop into an iron production area, it is really a waste.
The two cities to the north were snatched back from the player by Gongsun Chan. Zhangwu is the starting point to Fengning County, and it is also the forward base for attacking Xianbei in the east to the north, and Kangping is close to Xianbei and Fuyu in the east, and it is now at the forefront of the battle against Xianbei in the east.
After integrating the five cities, Fang Zhiwen found that the total population of the two counties was less than 1.5 million, and the average was less than 300,000 in each city, which can also be seen. How many people did Gongsun Chan move south this time.
Of course, after integration, Liaodong and Xuansu County are not all wilderness. In fact, there are also many player cities in these two counties, this is the small city that Gongsun Chan sold, and Fang Zhiwen will not force these players to get out. However, the alliance agreement must be re-signed according to the model of Fengning County, and these small towns must be legally and militarily restrained to prevent them from playing tricks behind their backs.
After the rectification of these two counties, Fang Zhiwen led the army into Kangping, and the military division of the army was Xu Shu, Tian Feng presided over the adjustment of the army in Miyun, as well as the general charge of military affairs, and the newly appointed Xun Yu was in charge of government affairs in his capacity. The deputies were Tian Chou and Zhen Jiang.
Zhao Yun and Zheluo each led their headquarters to stationed in Zhangwu, on the one hand, they hoarded grain and grass equipment, and on the other hand, they actively carried out adaptive training for the modified troops, and the prelude to the war of attacking Xianbei in the east gradually opened.
"My lord, according to the plan. General Zhao Yun will start from Zhangwu and attack all the way to the northwest, General Zhiluo will attack and advance due north, while our army will advance north along the west bank of the Da Liao River, and the three-way army will gradually expel the Xianbei people to the north. The best state is naturally that the Xianbei people retreat to the Great Xianbei Mountain. In that case, we will be able to squeeze them under the Great Xianbei Mountain and annihilate them. If the Xianbei people do not retreat to the northwest, but enter Fuyu eastward, there will be two situations, one is to merge with the Fuyu people, and they will confront me for a long time in the future, and the other is to fight with Fuyu, and Fuyu may choose to join forces with us to destroy Xianbei. ”
The thin wooden stick in Xu Shu's hand was drawing dots on the map, explaining and predicting the war situation, Fang Zhiwen pinched his chin and seemed to be listening carefully, but Taishi Zhaorong, who was familiar with Fang Zhiwen, knew that his husband was distracted, so he quietly bumped Fang Zhiwen's arm, Fang Zhiwen seemed to wake up, blinked and pretended to look at the map.
Xu Shu pursed his lips and said with some dissatisfaction: "My lord, in order to prevent the Xianbei people from going east, should our department set off earlier, take the first step to occupy the mouth of the Leshui River, and block the road of the Xianbei people going east?" ”
Fang Zhiwen smiled absently, shook his head and said: "Yuanzhi, the Xianbei people are not as united as you think, I was thinking just now, when the Xianbei people know that our army is attacking, will there be a split internally, if so, they will not flee in groups, but will flee in all directions, some to the west, some to the east, and even some people will run up the mountain, and there may also be people who surrender directly, if such a situation occurs, how should we deal with it?" ”
Xu Shu Zhengse said: "According to the information obtained by our staff department, there are now four major tribes in the eastern Xianbei, such as Suli, Mijia, Que Ji and Yuwen Mohuai, and Suli is the nominal lord of the east, and there is still the possibility of scattering as Lord Shicai said, but it must happen after one or several battles, when the Xianbei people really realize that our Miyun Han army is invincible." ”
Fang Zhiwen nodded noncommittally, Xu Shu knew that his statement was not fully accepted by Fang Zhiwen, but Xu Shu did not insist, because on the issue of treating Xianbei people, Xu Shu had much less experience than Fang Zhiwen, maybe Fang Zhiwen's statement was right, Xianbei people would even lack the determination to fight to the death in front of Fang Zhiwen.
"Then, even according to Yuan Zhi, under the stimulus of one or several big defeats, Xianbei people will be divided among themselves, so does the staff have a way to deal with this situation."
Xiangxiang didn't wait for Xu Shu to answer, and immediately raised her hand and said: "Yes, of course we will have it, otherwise it won't be called a combat deduction room!" Hee-hee. ”
Fang Zhiwen turned his head and gave Xiangxiang a smile, pressed his palm, signaled that Xiangxiang's raised arm could be put down: "Then, Yuan Zhi will tell me about the response you have prepared1."
Xu Shu smiled and said: "That is naturally a multi-pronged approach, on the one hand, we maintain a high-pressure military situation, resolutely pursue, on the other hand, use the power of the alien to surround the scattered Xianbei people, finally, we also need to cooperate with political and economic methods to attract and oppress the Xianbei people to take the initiative to stab, the fish that slipped through the net are indispensable, for the Xianbei people who went north into the mountains, we had to let them escape, anyway, they could not cross the Xianbei Mountains on a large scale and invade the south, because it would not work militarily at all, on the contrary." , we can continue to encourage the Inhumans to plunder and harass northward, so that the Xianbei people will never be able to recover. Moreover, the bitter cold in the north is not suitable for the development of large ethnic groups, so the Xianbei people in the north are not to be feared. ”
"Hehe, what about the eastward ones?"
"This requires us to set a policy towards Fuyu, is it to attack or to win over?"
Xu Shu blinked and looked at Fang Zhiwen, Fang Zhiwen smiled: "Of course, it is to win over openly and secretly erod, and then use a large number of non-war means to infiltrate Fuyu's economic operation and plot against the people of Fuyu, in short, we don't need too strong neighbors around us, before we don't have the strength and population to control this large territory, we must try our best to suppress and interfere with the development of these small barbarians, absorb their population, and infiltrate and control their economic activities." ”
Xu Shu looked at Fang Zhiwen who was full of energy, and the cold sweat on his back was outward, ruthless enough! This is a real hero!
"Understood, then we should send an envoy in advance, on the one hand, to negotiate trade and military reconciliation with neighboring countries, and on the other hand, to try to establish a military alliance with Fuyu and attack Xianbei in the east on both sides."
Fang Zhiwen smiled with satisfaction, the point of besieging Xianbei in the east is not the military siege, the Xianbei people are nomadic people, it is difficult to completely destroy them all at once, if you want to completely cripple or even destroy the Xianbei people, you need to find the political forces around the Xianbei people to surround them, and the relationship between Xianbei and Fuyu has always been not very good, so Xu Shu's idea is to the point.
"Very good, just follow this strategy, immediately send envoys to carry gifts, uh, gifts will be silk silk wine and other luxurious things, grain and iron must be restricted from leaving the country, the main point of trade negotiations is to open the border for free trade, protect merchants and people, fight bandits and Xianbei people, militarily can form a long-term military alliance to jointly deal with Xianbei and Xiongnu."
"Do as you are told! On the one hand, we can completely destroy the stubborn resistance of the Xianbei people with a great victory, and on the other hand, if the Xianbei people send the armies of various tribes to attack our army, General Zhao Yun and General Zheluo can take advantage of the weak military strength of each tribe to advance quickly, build a plough court and sweep the holes, and completely break the resistance of the Xianbei people. ”
Fang Zhiwen squinted his eyes and looked at the map, while Taishi Zhaorong and Zhen Xiang looked eager to try, and seemed to be full of longing for this expected battle.
Fang Zhiwen was a little surprised by the boldness of Xu Shu's plan, you must know that if Fang Zhiwen's 24,000 troops advanced directly, they might be besieged by more than 100,000 or 200,000 cavalry from Xianbei, ten times the enemy! And it's not those old soldiers in the Central Plains who have not been in battle for a long time, but the elite cavalry who have survived a hundred battles, can this battle really be won? It won't be that stealing chickens doesn't make rice, but it buries Fang Zhiwen's good situation, right!?
Xu Shu's expression was calm, he didn't know that his plan was bold and radical, but behind the seemingly high risk, there could be huge gains, if this stop wins, Fang Zhiwen's reputation will definitely be able to go sideways on the grassland, and it will also completely shatter all the illusions of the Xianbei people, which will have a huge impact on the next political and military operations.
The room was quiet, and everyone looked at Fang Zhiwen with bated breath, Q! ~!
